I've never noticed any problems yet with running code on a G4 that was built on a G5. All OS X ppc binaries I build ever are done on G5's, I think, and I've seen them work fine many times on G4's. So please report any problems. - William --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
